The minotaur walked down the dark, damp, cramp (to him at least) tunnel. He was teaching some new recruits to use the Gift when he was called to see the Listener. He wasn’t given an explanation why he needed to meet the Listener, but the minotaur didn’t need one. He came into a cavern light by bright glowing orbs of light, showing the room was filled with chemistry equipment, a small living space and a tall semitransparent green column. The minotaur could see that inside the column was a pony and there were several tubes that were keeping the pony alive inside. “Ah, Gamma, you’ve arrived. I thought you would take longer since you were training the new recruits.”
The minotaur turned around to see a zebra, whose eyes stopped working a long time ago, smiling and looking right at Gamma. Gamma did a slight bow. “I always have time to receive instructions from the master. What does he want of me?”
The zebra walked past Gamma to a set of beakers. He lifted a hoof and it started to glow with a soft green aura. Several beakers also glowed with same green aura and were lifted up in the air. Soon the Listener started to pour and mix the contends inside them. “The traitor destroyed the crystal that the human had. The master felt the loss of his grip to the human mind a few minutes ago.”
Gamma frowned, ever since Alpha attacked the Listener,which resulted in his eyes going blind, he had been an annoying thorn in their side. “Do I need to send another group for the human to get another crystal?”
“No, the traitor probably left some sort of note warning about the crystal. However, we did received word from our stand-in that Celestia had called her and the rest of the Elements to Appleloosa. He has already be given his orders. Soon the human will be hearing our master's voice once again.”
“Then what does my master need me to do?”
“He wants several things done. First he wants production on the weapons increase by 45%. Second he wants a small raiding party to be ready to attack tomorrow, you’ll be told where on that day as well.”
“May I ask why are we attacking so soon?”
“No, but if you must know we need to provoke the human into coming to us alone. Right now she’s just annoyed by us, we need to change that. Also our master thought it the perfect time to show Celestia our power. Now gather your troops and be ready tomorrow to attack.”
Gamma did another bow of acknowledgment and left the Listener’s room. The Listener smiled to himself and looked at the pony inside the green column. “Soon the key will be here, and you will finally be finished. The master's dream will soon be fulfilled.” The Listener got back to work of mixing chemicals to prepare for future events.

So, This isn't canon to your story at all?
Maybe I should write a chapter non-Canonical, t'would be awesome
1212292
No this canon. When writing chapter 17 I felt I needed to release this chapter, so I did.
1212362 Ah, Makes sense.I myself am trying to push Chapter twelve out, For now, I'm having trouble with what the hell they should be saying. It''s what I get for being so awesome.
Serously? No, just no. There's no excuse for sidestepping quality if it's not a necessity.
1213651
agreed, this was a bad chapter with lower quality.
“Ah, Gamma, you’ve arrived. I thought it would take a bit longer for you to arrive since you were training the new recruits.”

To let both of you know, this chapter was writing in under a few hours. Not the normal few days of brainstorming follow by days of writing and editing. It's just when writing chapter 17 I felt I need to and this chapter, without it being at the end of chapter 17. But yeah...I should've put some more effort into this. If it makes ya'll feel any better I won't do something like this again. Okay? ......don't know what else to say so....music!
1217769 I'll accept the apologies and the music as long as you promise me you'll send this to your beta for PRing, alright?
Corrected sentence. Gamma frowned, ever since Alpha attacked the Listener,which resulted in his eyes going blind, he had been an annoying thorn in their side.

fulfilled.
So, Alpha and the Master are not one and the same. Good to know.
